That Maple Forest is indeed not a simple character.

I wanted to talk about it in person, but as soon as he came here, after seeing Qiao Niannian, he knew that the person was no longer useful. Otherwise, Qiao Niannian would definitely not leave like this now.

"But at least, he won't pass on the news that I've found poison to them."

Qiao Niannian sank down, thinking that tomorrow she would start trying to make that poison. In this way, the speculation about this poison can be more reasonable and accurate.

"It seems that you have to be more careful in the future." On Gong Zhijin's face, the sword eyebrows rose slightly, and his whole face looked a little cold and indifferent, "Now that they know that you are helping me, then what will they do to you." If you have something to do recently, you must pay attention to the people around you. ”

"yes, got it."

Qiao Niannian knew that he had to be careful now. Those people must be some martial arts masters, so if they want to kill her, wouldn't it be an easy thing to do?

"By the way, I'm going to the county lord's mansion, and I need to ask her for help with something."

Suddenly, it occurred to me that maybe the county lord of Huiyang had a clue about the poppy, so Qiao Niannian wanted to ask her. Because in this dynasty, Qiao Niannian remembered that there didn't seem to be such a plant, otherwise, according to the character of the ancient people, it would have been regarded as a medicinal material a long time ago, and Qiao Niannian had been practicing medicine here for so long, how could he have never heard of it.

"I'll go with you."

Because he knew that Qiao Niannian had his own ideas, he didn't stop it, after all, this matter started because of him, Gongzhijin felt that Qiao Niannian must be protected, and she couldn't let her miss a little.

So, after finishing speaking, Gong Zhijin took her hand, and after giving instructions to her subordinates, she walked towards the door.

When he got into the carriage, Qiao Niannian whispered to him: "That poison contains the ingredients of poppies, the venom of puffer fish, and some other adulterants. I thought that if I could make this poison myself, I would be able to make some more accurate judgments about its dosage and effect. Then, it will be possible to measure the poison used by the first queen. ”

Because it was not as soon as she ate the poison that she immediately stopped breathing, but after the stomach digested it for a while, the queen fell into a permanent sleep, so the toxin extracted from the stomach was only a part. And, most importantly, because in medicine, not all healers use the same amount of poison, they have their own ideas.

Moreover, if the dosage could be known, then Qiao Niannian would be able to accurately measure the time of poisoning, and thus speculate where that person was most likely to be in the first place.

"It's contraband in the Great Yan Kingdom, and if it is heard by the people in the palace, it will lead to death."

As soon as he heard the "poppy", Gongzhi Jin was a little silent. Because this plant, decades ago, disappeared from here.

"What? Contraband? ”

Qiao Niannian looked at him in surprise, in fact, in this dynasty, this plant was also included in the "blacklist".

"Hmm. Wait until you get to her, let her talk to you. ”

Because after all, this is still a public place, and it will be there in a while, so Gong Zhijin will not go into details, and Qiao Niannian will no longer ask.

"It's really hard for you."

Instead, Gong Zhijin hugged Qiao Niannian in his arms, he never thought of asking Qiao Niannian to help him with this. Since he was a child, he has vowed to find out with his own hands the person who killed his mother. And he has always wanted to find it by himself, and now that Qiao Niannian can help him, then Gong Zhijin feels that this is extremely good.

However, the risks and dangers along the way are very great, so Gong Zhijin swore that Qiao Niannian must be protected, and she will definitely not be hurt in the slightest.

"Didn't I say that your business is my business. There is nothing difficult to do or not to embarrass about, and finding out the person who killed the former queen is also the most important thing for me now. ”

When Qiao Niannian found the person who killed her mother, Gong Zhijin also helped a lot, so putting aside all her feelings, based on this alone, she was willing to help Gong Zhijin and achieve his goal.

"I'll let you go to your side without regrets, he can keep you safe at any time."

I don't regret the previous injury, because of Qiao Niannian's treatment, it got better very quickly. And he also strengthened his training after that, and now his skills have increased a lot, so Gong Zhijin feels that he should have the ability to protect Qiao Niannian when he is not there.

I thought that there would be no trouble, but I thought that if I didn't agree, Gongzhijin would not be able to put my mind at ease, so Qiao Niannian nodded and accepted.

Soon after, the carriage stopped at the door of the county lord's mansion. And after Qiao Niannian and Gong Zhijin got out of the car, they walked inside.

In the hall, the county lord of Huiyang had already been waiting over there, and when she saw Gongzhijin and Qiao Niannian coming over, she immediately stepped forward.

"What's going on, do you have something important to talk to me about this time?"

And Qiao Niannian didn't answer directly, but walked to the side of the seat first and sat down, so the county lord of Huiyang also chose the nearest position. And Gong Zhijin sat opposite them.

After serving tea, the county lord of Huiyang asked the subordinates to retreat, and let them stay at the door, not to come in without her permission. Because of Qiao Niannian's appearance, she could know that the news they brought now must have been shocking.

Seeing that everyone had retreated and made sure that there were no "ears" here, Qiao Niannian looked at the county lord of Huiyang and whispered everything that happened in the palace to her.

"What!"

After hearing this, the county lord of Huiyang immediately widened her eyes, she looked at Qiao Niannian in surprise, and then looked at Gongzhijin with a look of disbelief. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, Gong Zhijin didn't tell her anything before, so after hearing this now, she still couldn't accept it.

"Considering that you have grown up and have the ability to handle things on your own. Then it's okay to talk to you about this matter. It's just that you don't want to be involved, otherwise, even I may not be able to protect you. ”

Because he didn't tell the county lord of Huiyang about these things at first, it was because Gongzhijin felt that it was not necessary at all, because first, he didn't want her to take this risk, and secondly, if she didn't say it, maybe she would live a freer life, and she wouldn't have to worry so much every day.

And now, since the matter has happened to the point where it is now, Gong Zhijin thinks that since the county lord of Huiyang has found something, then according to her character, she will definitely not give up the investigation, so it is better to tell her about this matter.

"I know. I'm sure I'll not let the rest of them know about it. ”

The county lord of Huiyang knew that Gongzhijin was because he cared about himself, so he didn't refute him. Because she knew in her heart that although she was very naughty every time she was in front of him, the family relationship between Gongzhijin and her was thicker than water.

"You mean, instead of giving him amnesia water, you just gave him a treat?"

Instead, the county lord of Huiyang turned to Qiao Niannian and asked her. And Qiao Niannian also nodded, but she was a little helpless about her ability to choose a name.

Hearing this, the county lord of Huiyang's brows furrowed slightly, and then spread out again, "Got it." You have weighed it, so this matter can only be said to have taken a less dangerous solution. Okay, leave this matter to me, I'll take care of it, and the maple forest will be gone. ”

"Hmm." Qiao Nian answered, and then told her the question in her heart, that is, the purpose of this visit, "Do you know a flower called poppy?" ”

Hearing this, the county lord of Huiyang thought about it, she hadn't heard of this plant for a long time, so now that she heard this term again, she felt suddenly a little strange.

"It didn't exist in the Great Yan Country a long time ago."

After almost remembering it, the county lord of Huiyang slowly began to describe it, because after all, this is a prohibited drug in the Great Yan Country, so he can only be careful.

"Because something happened before," Lord Huiyang's eyes darkened a little, "Before, when my father was still alive, he gave birth to a prince with a concubine. And the prince is slightly older than the royal brother. At that time, poppies were not forbidden to be cultivated, and some medicines mixed with poppies could still be bought in many pharmacies.

Moreover, in some remote mountains and forests, or on the land of some medicine farmers, there are still poppies. But later, because the prince once went out with his father, he accidentally ate the poppy by mistake. Later, he died. At that time, I had not yet been born, and the royal brother was not very old. And because of this matter, my father explicitly forbade the cultivation of poppies in Dayan, and if it was discovered, it would be immediately beheaded.

Therefore, since that time, no one dared to grow opium poppies. And those who had planted opium poppies before were all removed, and there was nothing left. That's the thing about poppies, and I don't know if that helps you in any way. ”

After the county lord of Huiyang finished speaking, he sighed slightly. Because of this incident, the Great Yan Kingdom moved slightly. chaos, and the time of influence is also very wide, when the county lord of Huiyang has a memory, others have also talked about her, so the county lord of Huiyang will remember it so deeply.

And Qiao Niannian, after hearing this, her eyelashes, which were very long, drooped slightly. What is hidden in those eyes is a kind of sorrow and indifference.

It turns out that this is the case, no wonder in my impression, there is no poppy flower at all, and some related memories. After that, Qiao Niannian raised her eyes again and said to her, "Half of the poisonous components in your mother's body are extracted from poppies. ”

The county lord of Huiyang immediately widened his eyes, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

If you look at the time of this incident, there is not much time difference between this time and before. And this, the blow to the father, can be said to be more serious than the double, and the father, that is, from that time, the health gradually deteriorated.

And Gong Zhijin knew what was going on in her mind, because when Qiao Niannian told him that there was poppy in this poison, he already had this idea.

Subsequently, Gong Zhijin told Qiao Niannian about this.

"In other words, when the former queen was drugged, it was still possible for the person who poisoned her to get this poppy?"

Qiao Niannian asked them, and when he heard this, the county lord of Huiyang nodded.

"That's basically the case, but there is another condition, that is, he has this right, and he has the courage to go to the poppy. Although it is said that the time difference between the death of the prince and the death of the queen mother is not long, it is also two years. ”

Then, if the murderer is from the Great Yan country, the scope of the murderer can be narrowed.

"In the past, I asked Yan Wujian to check, and the murderer was not from the Great Yan Country, but one thing is certain, he must have obtained the poppy in the Great Yan Country. Because, this poppy is only owned by Dayan. ”

Because of this, Gong Zhijin hadn't talked to Qiao Niannian yet, so he said to her. When Qiao Niannian heard this, the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger. Originally, I thought I could narrow it down, but now it seems that it is another clue that is not very valuable. It's just that there is one thing that Qiao Niannian can be sure of, that is, the murderer has an extremely deep resentment towards the emperor.
